just bought 2003 AUDI A4 TDI SPORT - rev counter problem

H i , totally new to audi and diesels, and as per title just bought 2003 AUDI A4 TDI SPORT... now every thing is great and i love the drive , the only fault i have found is the rev counter sits at idle and doesnt realy move much although all the power is there and drives great ... this was apparently a problem that occurred after a flat battery ? told it should be ok with some kind of reset via audi ?

Just a update : needle drops when engine turned off , raises to just under the 1 rpm and stays there , doesnt move untill engine is turned off... no reply yet for getting needle reset , phoned a place up in sale who said its a problem somewhere in the car and needle wont need reset ?

any one know of anyone who knows what they are doing ? dont fancy a wasted trip to a stealer rather a forum member get the money

Ok so N8 read the car with vcds - alot of codes been thrown up but not nothing came back
do any of these corresond with probs im having with rev counter? bearing in mind the car has loads of power and drives faultless just the needle for rev counter just sits in the same place

Any joy with this yet?
Mine drives ok. So just living with it at the mo,seems a dark area!

The only good thing is that while at 60mph im only @ 900rpm in 6th lol.

Just a thought.... Rev counter gauge?

no joy with th rev counter , just stays where it is in the pic i added ... though any throttle it flutters as though it is trying to move up. if urs is moving then maybe a reset would work ??

The drive is great and pulls like a train , i honestly cant fault it atall..
even after this fault i know it hasnt put me off the car , im just one of those that likes everything working and should i change i know ill be sticking with an audi , even the mrs likes it and is out in it today , yet she would never drive the rx8 i had
